Ardours, the new alternative/gothic metal project formed by Tristania vocalist Mariangela Demurtas, multi-instrumentalist/producer Kris Laurent, and Tristania’s Tarald Lie (drums) have announced their debut album Last Place on Earth will arrive on August 9th via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition to Tristania fans, for those who enjoy The Gathering, Lacuna Coil, and Tiamat, would also enjoy Ardours’ sound.
Demurtas commented on the album:
“The album is a carousel of fatalism, confusion, insight, enlightenment, self-deception, bitterness, loss of faith, apathy, closure, and hope of a new dawn spinning relentlessly towards the looming contours of the end. Or the complete opposite. We definitely like to leave as much free interpretation as possible to the audience.”
Today (2nd) the group has unveiled the video for the song “Last Moment.”
Demurtas said the following about the track:
“It is a song about approaching the end. It is actually an optimistic and positive song compared to some others on the album; however, focusing on the notion that something better than this world is waiting, so we can leave life with a radiant hope. In the video we wanted to show our identity in a way that the audience could see how we express ourselves lyrically and musically.”
